Add cookie for site that redirects in Chrome DevTools?

I need to set login cookies manually in Chrome when testing our site in certain testing environments because the normal login process doesn't work there.

I can get the cookies manually using Postman.

Normally I'd use F12 -> Application -> Cookies but our site immediately redirects you to a our centralized login page (which is on a different domain).

Any idea how to add a cookie to a domain in Chrome if I can't open the domain for long enough?

EditThisCookie doesn't work for this anymore. I found the easiest approach to be to go to a static resource on the site you're visiting that doesn't redirect you —like the URL of the logo in the login page for example— and set the cookies that way.

I found an extension that allows me to do it, called EditThisCookie. I installed it in a separate Chrome account (just for safety) and then I could add a cookie to a site even when it is not currently opened, thus avoiding the redirect:
